I-Bel Campbell

I-Bel, born the eighth day of December 1967, at the Kingston Jubilee hospital, was registered ‘Scafford Campbell’ and is the first of miss Antoinette three children. His father died when he was just a toddler and grandma had to lend a hand with his growth and development. She resided in St. Thomas thus most of his earlier years was spent in the country where he attend Airy castle all age then on Morant Bay high school, before becoming a member of the JDF. After the JDF he took upon himself his natural aspect and raised his attributes. He began doing his own business of ‘heart’ –portraits, murals, t-shirts, backdrops, performing on the first and second staging of ‘East Fest’ recorded ‘Babylon a duppy’ at ‘Pent house’ studio for the Morgan’s heritage, is the first dub poet featured by ‘Jammin’s label with a tune called ‘travel the world’ done with ‘Bushman’ and is also the artist responsible for the art on the jacket of Taurus Riley’s first album. I-Bel has written a book ‘Deep within Blackness’ soon to be in stores and has registered ‘Triune Productions’ as the trademark under which he market his products –Works of Art and T-shirts (Chalice wears). Now where his poetry is concerned ‘Rippa’s’ production team is presently recording the brethren. We asked his advice to the youths of today and he said, “it’s a fact; poverty isn’t caused by an impoverish society for by poorness of minds such societies were built. Realizing this fact, let the youths endeavor to enrich their minds and prove that what was hidden from the wise and prudent is truly revealed to babes and suckling.” I-Bel hopes his works will keep Blacks from slipping below their standard while making way over and around obstacles presented by the system –‘Rippa’s production.’ second dat!
